A partial solar eclipse will occur in Hong Kong SAR, China, People’s Republic of China on 20 April 2023 Hong  Kong SAR- Beijing Time , the eclipse magnitude is just about 0.03. The eclipse will not noticeably weaken the sunlight at that time. As the eclipse magnitude is small, observers may need a telescope to observe this solar eclipse. A specialised solar filter or an indirect way such as the projection method is essential for solar observation. Inadequate ways to observe the Sun may result in severe ocular burns…… Also the eclipse magnitude is just about 0.03. The eclipse will not noticeably weaken the sunlight at that time. As the eclipse magnitude is small, observers may need a telescope to observe this solar eclipse. A specialised solar filter or an indirect way such as the projection method is essential for solar observation. Inadequate ways to observe the Sun may result in severe ocular burns. The general public may also check the online platforms of the Hong Kong Space Museum to watch the live image of the solar eclipse on that day. The next partial solar eclipse in Hong Kong will occur on 22 July 2028, whose magnitude will even be smaller than that of this one.

Partial eclipse begins: the instant when the Moon’s limb contacts the Sun’s limb.

Greatest eclipse: the instant when the apparent centers of the Moon and the Sun are at the smallest separation. The eclipse magnitude reaches its maximum at this time.

Partial eclipse ends: the instant when the Moon’s limb leaves the Sun’s limb completely.

Eclipse magnitude: reflects how deep the Moon eclipses the Sun. The larger the magnitude is, the larger proportion of the Sun is covered.

The eclipse this time is a hybrid solar eclipse. In addition to the partial solar eclipse, there are some places on Earth where a total solar eclipse or annular solar eclipse can be observed. The central point of the eclipse is located at the South of the equator. The eclipse magnitude is larger when the observer is closer to the central point. In Hong Kong, the partial solar eclipse will begin around noon. It can be observed from many districts. However, the eclipse magnitude and duration will be slightly larger in the southeastern region. Interested observers may first consider places at Kowloon East or the eastern part of Hong Kong Island.

The partial solar eclipse begins at 12:34 pm, where the Sun is located at about 79 degrees above the southwest horizon at that time. The entire eclipse will end at 1:16 pm.

#AlreadyTomorrowInHongKong #香港| #香港太空館 #HongKongSpaceMuseum #March2023|#HKSpMActivity The #月掩金星 #LunarOccultation #Astronomy event of #金星 #Venus on 24th March 2023…..

Hong Kong SAR, China, People’s Republic of China will usher in an astronomical phenomenon of “moon occultation of Venus” on March 24, 2023. Since the orbital plane of the moon is very close to the orbital planes of the planets, if the moon covers the planets in the sky, it is called a “lunar occultation planet”. In addition, Venus is the celestial body in the solar system that is second only to the sun and the moon in brightness, so “lunar occultation of Venus” is relatively easy to observe and has attracted a lot of attention from astronomy observers.

The “moon occultation of Venus” will start at 7:47 pm and end at 8:53 pm, lasting about one hour and six minutes. At the time of “occlusion”, the moon is located in the northwest about 18 degrees above the horizon. Since both are quite bright, they can be observed directly with the naked eye, and binoculars or astronomical telescopes will have a clearer observation effect. At the time of “occlusion”, the moon will move to a position only 3.8 degrees above the horizon, and observers need to go to a place with almost no obstruction in the northwest to observe it.

A lunar occultation of Venus will occur in Hong Kong at night on March 24 (Friday). The Moon will move between the Earth and Venus at that time. We will not be able to observe Venus as it will be blocked by the Moon temporarily at that time.

The coming “Lunar Occultation of Venus” will begin at 7:47 pm and end at 8:53 pm, which will last for about one hour and six minutes. Since the Moon and Venus are quite bright, they can be observed directly with the naked eye. Both objects will appear close to the horizon, observers need to find a place with an almost completely unobstructed view towards the northwestern horizon.

Since Venus always appears close to the Sun, the lunar occultation of Venus mostly happen in day time. The next lunar occultation of Venus observable in Hong Kong during night time will be on May 31, 2063.

The above predictions are based on the Hong Kong Space Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong as the reference point, and the occultation time may vary by tens of seconds in different places in Hong Kong.

The occultation begins near the east side of the Moon and ends near the west side. In fact, the visual motion of the Moon is much faster than that of Venus, but observations can also track the Moon to show the relative motion of Venus. Since Venus is located near the sun for a long time, lunar occultation of Venus generally occurs during the day. The next lunar occultation of Venus in the Hong Kong evening will be May 31, 2063.

香港於2023年3月24日的傍晚時份將會上演「月掩金星」,屆時月球會運行到地球和金星之間,並將金星短暫遮掩,令我們無法看到金星。

今次的「月掩金星」發生在晚上7時47分,結束時間為8時53分,歷時約一小時六分鐘。由於月球和金星都是天上最為明亮的天體,可以用肉眼直接觀賞,但兩者將較為接近地平線,觀測者需要到西北面幾乎亳無遮擋的地方才能觀測得到。

由於金星長期位處於太陽附近,故「月掩金星」普遍發生在日間,下一次可在香港晚間觀測月掩金星將會是2063年5月31日。

On the week of 17th October 2022, The Returning lunar soil samples Chang’e 5 Mons Rumker lunar soil reveals a great mystery!…… Why the moon still has volcanic activity 2 billion years ago Chang’e 5 lunar soil, revealing a big mystery!  Chinese scientists have proposed a new model of lunar thermal evolution based on the study of the Chang’e-5 lunar soil, revealing a mystery that has plagued the academic world: why the moon still had volcanic activity 2 billion years ago.

Chinese scientists have proposed a new model of lunar thermal evolution based on the study of the Chang’e 5 lunar soil, revealing a mystery that has plagued academia: why the moon still had volcanic activity 2 billion years ago.

According to Chen Yi, a researcher at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago, and its mass is only about 1% of that of the earth. For such a small celestial body, in theory, it should cool rapidly and stop volcanoes very early. Activity and become a “dead” planet.
The return of Chang’e-5 lunar soil samples has triggered a new round of lunar research upsurge. In October 2021, Chinese scientists published three articles in the journal “Nature”, revealing that lunar volcanic activity could last until 2 billion years ago, refreshing human understanding of the history of lunar magma activity and thermal evolution.
According to experts, lunar basalt is a rock formed by the partial melting of the lunar mantle (equivalent to the earth’s mantle) through volcanic eruptions to the lunar surface to cool and crystallize. International scholars have put forward two hypotheses about the partial melting of the continuously cooling lunar mantle: one is that the heat generated by radioactive elements causes the lunar mantle to heat up; the other hypothesis is that if the water content is high, the melting point of the lunar mantle will be lowered.
However, Chinese scientists’ research on the Chang’e-5 basalt revealed that the lunar mantle source region is not rich in radioactive heat-generating elements and is very “dry”, ruling out the above two hypotheses. Therefore, why the lunar volcanism has continued for so long has become an unsolved mystery in a new round of lunar research.

Yuan Jiangyan, an engineer at the Scanning Electron Microscopy and Electron Probe Laboratory of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, analyzes the composition of the Chang’e-5 lunar soil (photo taken on October 14, 2022). Published by Xinhua News Agency (Photo courtesy of Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences)

In response to this problem, Chen Yi led the scientific research team to select 27 representative Chang’e 5 basalt cuttings, and used the newly developed scanning electron microscope energy spectrum quantitative scanning technology to analyze the main components of the whole rock cuttings, combined with a series of The petrological and thermodynamic simulation calculations have successfully recovered the initial magma composition of the Chang’e-5 basalt, and compared it with the initial magma of the Apollo samples to deduce their origin depth and temperature.
The study found that the initial magma of the young Chang’e-5 basalt contained more calcium and titanium than the Apollo samples, suggesting that the mantle source region of the Chang’e-5 basalt had more additions of calcium-rich and titanium-rich materials. This part of the material is precisely the product of the late crystallization of the lunar magma ocean, and has the characteristics of being fusible. Its addition will significantly reduce the melting point of the lunar mantle and induce partial melting of the lunar mantle to form young lunar basalts. Further simulation results show that the moon’s interior has experienced continuous cooling for more than a billion years, and the temperature has only dropped by about 80 degrees Celsius.


Chen Yi said that this study shows that although the interior of the moon continues to cool slowly, the fusible components crystallized in the late lunar magma ocean are continuously added to the deep lunar mantle, which not only “supplements calcium and titanium” for the lunar mantle, but also lowers the lunar mantle. the melting point, thereby overcoming the slow cooling lunar interior environment and triggering long-lasting lunar volcanism.


The results were published in the latest issue of the American journal Science Advances.
